Description
xTrapped in an unhappy marriage with a boorish, inattentive and socially ambitious husband, Julie de Chaverny enjoys a flirtatious dalliance with the elegant Major de Châteaufort. However, the sudden reappearance of an old admirer, M. Darcy, who has returned from Turkey with a tale of breathtaking derring-do and chivalry to add to his charms, reawakens in Julie a forgotten passion, and convinces her to pursue a rash and dangerous course, one that will have tragic consequences.
Described as a masterpiece of psychological insight and a minutely observed social satire, A Slight Misunderstanding is here accompanied by other short stories: The Etruscan Vase, The Vision of Charles XI, Tamango, The Blue Room, A Hanging.Author: Prosper Mérimée
